Graveyard fashion shoot angers Poles

Poland has protested a photo exhibition by a Ukrainian fashion magazine featuring models posing next to Polish graves. The photographs showing women in provocative poses against a backdrop of crosses at a cemetery in the western city of Lviv were displayed at a museum last week.

Poland's Foreign Ministry said its diplomats in Lviv protested "the impropriety of the exhibition, which could hurt feelings and provoke controversy" and had the exhibit closed.
